"According to an account provided to Boomkat, this music spent 10 years “filed away in a drawer.” Whether this was meant literally or not, there’s something poetic about these pieces sitting forgotten for so long. They are full of the complicated wisdom that only reveals itself with time. It’s the sound of a person slowly figuring the world out for themselves." - Pitchfork
"It goes without saying that Soaring Wayne Phoenix is either a headphone record—something you keep secret, and keep safe—or, something you play very, very loudly on your turntable, sitting near your speakers in order to pick up all the nuances and layers the album has to offer". - ANHEDONIC HEADPHONES
"The album dredges a remarkable and unshakeable depth of feeling and human insight via its mazy tile of vignettes, drifting from softly textured, deep blue witching hour logic to more grizzled, Tricky-esque realisations and glossolalic expressions that practically, poetically say as much as his legible lyrics." - The Slow Music Movement
''soaring wayne phoenix story the earth is mostly muted and forlorn. Phoenix intones gravely at the start of the opening track “Mood” that he’s “singing the story of my life so far,” accompanied by washes of white noise, lapping electronics, and a vocal sample stretched and warped into an inhuman wail. Occasionally, he evokes the rain-slicked desperation of Leyland Kirby, and some of the synth work feels as cold and gleaming as those of his compatriots on Rabit’s Halcyon Veil label. But the way Phoenix treats his samples and sounds, swaddling them in blankets of hiss or warping them into unrecognizable forms, makes them feel personal and unique.'' - Pitchfork
